timing chain question

ok, i have a 94 so unvented opti, and i still have the stock wp. would it really be worth the money of converting to vented opti, and getting and electric wp just so that i can run a true double roller? or would i be just as good with the ED timing set? also one day im planning on doing ltcc or similar so the whole "getting a vented opti out of the deal" wont really matter to me. btw planning on a cam roughly the size of the "847" and a 100 shot

thanks

Re: timing chain question

No need to do all that swaping.The Cloyes ED chain is as strong as a double roller,if not stronger.An electric water pump would be nice to take the strain off of the front cam brg.

Re: timing chain question

I would go with the Cloyes timing chain set and an electric water pump myslef. That is what I am planning on doing!
